Coverage of MCC's New Partnerships to Update Machinist Training

13WHAM News recently aired a segment promoting MCC’s new partnership with Rochester Institute of Technology focused on modernizing and accelerating machinist training and education to keep up with the pace of Industry 4.0 technology development.

Developed by RIT, a new machinist training pilot program will be launched at MCC, Finger Lakes Community College, and BOCES throughout 2023 and 2024. The initiative also aims to make training and career opportunities more accessible to residents, including hard-of-hearing individuals, through the innovative use of virtual/augmented reality.

In collaboration with regional industry, partners in the initiative will stay current on technical knowledge and skills through a series of workshops. The first workshop, offered on Dec. 9 at the Applied Technologies Center, was attended by approximately 25 representatives from BOCES, MCC, RIT, Rochester Technology and Manufacturing Association (RTMA) and employers, including Gleason Works and Raymond Corp.
